2007 a. 196.

Application of act to existing proceeding and existing rights and duties.

(1) APPLICABILITY OF PREDECESSOR ACT TO PENDING PROCEEDINGS AND EXISTING RIGHTS. The predecessor act exclusively governs all actions or proceedings that are pending on January 1, 2009, or may be instituted on the basis of conduct occurring before January 1, 2009, but a civil action may not be maintained to enforce any liability under the SECURITIES LAW 551.70333 predecessor act unless instituted within any period of limitation that applied when the cause of action accrued or within 5 years after January 1, 2009, whichever is earlier.

(2) CONTINUED EFFECTIVENESS UNDER PREDECESSOR ACT. All effective registrations under the predecessor act, and all administrative orders relating to the registrations, rules, statements of policy, interpretative opinions, declaratory rulings, no action determinations, and conditions imposed on the registrations under the predecessor act, remain in effect while they would have remained in effect if this chapter had not been reenacted. They are considered to have been filed, issued, or imposed under this chapter, but are exclusively governed by the predecessor act.

(3) APPLICABILITY OF PREDECESSOR ACT TO OFFERS OR SALES. The predecessor act exclusively applies to an offer or sale made within one year after January 1, 2009, pursuant to an offering made in good faith before January 1, 2009, on the basis of an exemption available under the predecessor act.
